Abstract
A randomized, nonblinded study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of a single 2 g oral dose of metronidazole (Flagyl) vs. a 7-day regimen in the treatment of nonspecific vaginitis. Using cultures for G. vaginalis, 14 (67%) of 21 women treated with the single 2 g dose and 19 (86%) of 21 women receiving the 7-day course were considered cured 7-10 days after treatment (P > 0.10). No difference in compliance was noted between the 2 groups, and the incidence of side effects likewise, was comparable.
